Splunk Lantern is a customer success center providing advice from Splunk experts on valuable data insights, key use cases, and tips on managing Splunk more efficiently.

We also host Getting Started Guides for a range of Splunk products, a library of Product Tips, and Data Descriptor articles which help you see everything that’s possible with data sources and data types in Splunk.

Our library is constantly growing, and we’ve got lots of new articles to share with you! Here’s a full breakdown of everything we’ve published over September.

New Getting Started Guides

If you’re new to Splunk, you’ll want to check out our Getting Started guides for our Platform, Security, and Observability products. The curated paths there provide you with tips and links to all of the resources you’ll need to get Splunking like a pro. 

We’ve made some updates to these guides over the past month. First, you’ll notice that we’ve just published a new guided learning path for Splunk Mobile. This walks you through how to set up the Splunk Mobile app, which gives you access to your dashboards, reports, and alerts while you are on the go. 

We’ve also made some significant updates to our Getting Started path for SOAR, adding in extra videos, learning resources, and tips from experts to help your SOAR knowledge soar skywards.

New Product Tips Articles

We’ve published lots of product tips this month to help you achieve more with the Splunk products in your environment:

 

New Observability Use Cases

It’s been a good month for Observability content and use cases, with several new use cases you can pick up and apply to your environment right away.

Creating SLOs and tracking error budgets with SignalFlow walks you through how to create SLOs, alert on them, and create charting to show your error budget in alert minutes.

If you’re a Snowflake user, Monitoring Snowflake database usage shows you how to build dashboards and detectors to help you answer common database usage questions, alert on them, and chart trends of important usage or performance metrics.

On the Synthetics side, Running Synthetics browser tests teaches you how to create a synthetics browser test to assess how performance impacts user experience, and validate that sites and services perform as expected for the end user in the browser.

 

New Healthcare Security Articles

Finally, if you handle security for a healthcare organization, we’ve also published a couple of articles that might be of special interest to you. Securing medical devices from cyberattacks helps you get insights into vulnerabilities, intrusion attempts, and general traffic on the medical devices on your network. Monitoring medical record numbers for anomalous access shows you how to monitor authorized and unauthorized access to patient information and identify risks associated with ePHI data breaches.

What else?

We’ve launched a new feedback widget on our site! This tab on the left-hand side allows you to tell us how articles are working for you, or where improvement is needed.
